Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.

Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!

At Calvary! Wow! 😭😭
Isn't it amazing and altogether perplexing how the Holy Spirit keeps pulling us to the Cross, even in our worst state?! Dirty, yet loved! Fallen, yet desired! I went to bed with a heavy, remorseful heart. I'd fallen again. I felt a vast distance from God. Self guilt and condemnation have taken a firm grip of my soul. Lying there on the bed, I prayed all night. Mercy was all my plea. Mercy over judgment.
Before dawn, the Holy Spirit put this old hymn in my heart. I kept singing it repeatedly until I woke up and got here to sing through the stanza with tears streaming down my eyes. At Calvary!
Mercy there was great and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary!
And the last stanza says everything that redemption entails:
Oh, the love that drew salvation's plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
Discharged and acquitted!
Because of Calvary!
Thank You Jesus Christ for Salvation!

I have been going thru some trials and praying to the Lord he opened my eyes to walk with him to Calvary. How he felt and the price he paid. Then I woke up to this song playing in my head . What a blessing it is

It's 4 am and I woke up with this song on my mind. Haven't sung this in some time. May have forgotten few lyrics but not the chorus. Thank you Heavenly Father for love and mercy extended to me.

I’m 87 yrs old and to night this great gospel story song began ringing in my head, probably haven’t sung it in worship for 50 years. Oh the story so rich in truth!

I love this song. Every once in a while I’ll start singing it. I really want to learn all of the words. I would like to sing it in my church.
